// Downtown Albuquerque, New Mexico Project: The Bear Desk A year ago I came face to face (ten feet away!) with an incredible grizzly bear. She was big with powerful paws and gentle eyes. I’ve never felt such respect for an animal or nature. My adrenaline was pumping and I couldn’t stop smiling for days. My face began to hurt because of it. This little Cabin desk is a nod to her and all of the animals that let us share their home with them from time to time.
